I’d ask your dealer to test drive a few in your system.

I use
a dCS Network Bridge in a wired setup (wifi never happened for this unit) feeding an Analog Domain DAC1 (AES EBU XLR)
an Auralic Aries G2 in a wireless setup feeding a McIntosh MDA1000 (AES EBU XLR)
a Limetree Bridge (by Lindemann) in a wireless head fi setup feeding a Weiss DAC202 (Toslink)
All as Roon endpoint...so native software is not used.
IMHO for my use cases
For a wired ethernet setup, dCS is King
For a wireless setup Auralic is King
When space is an issue, the Limetree is King
Must say did not expect the dCS to be that good.
